Maruti Suzuki Dzire has been updated to conform with the new AIS 145 safety norms. Under the purview of these new safety standards, which become mandatory from 1 July, 2019, the sub-compact sedan's entire range now gets a speed-alert system, rear parking sensors, and seat-belt reminders for the front seats as standard. About ABS and dual airbags, the latest generation model of the Maruti Dzire already gets them as standard across all variants.

Besides that, the carmaker has also updated the Dzire sedan's 1.2-litre K12B petrol engine for conformity with the upcoming BS6 emission norms. It must be noted that Maruti Suzuki had previously announced that all models in its portfolio will be BS VI-compliant before the new norms come intp effect on 1 April, 2020. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire petrol has become the latest car to join the company's list of BS 6 compliant cars in India after the Maruti Suzuki Alto as well as the petrol models of the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Maruti Suzuki Swift, and Maruti Suzuki Baleno.

These updates have translated into a nominal price hike of ₹3,000 for Maruti Dzire diesel variants, but the Maruti Dzire's petrol models are now expensive by as much as ₹13,000.

However, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire diesel model continues to be powered by the 1.3-litre DDiS motor, which, by the way, is not BS VI compliant. This is because Maruti Suzuki intends to phased out all diesel models in its line-up by 1 April, 2020.
